Presenting Lot 4 of vintage plastic model cars, featuring five unique racing cars from the 1950s. Included are three models marked Merit by J&L Randall Ltd, a notable British manufacturer known for crafting popular collectible toys during this era. The models showcase various conditions, making them ideal for both collectors and restoration enthusiasts alike. This lot includes:

1. **Merit Maserati 250F Racing Car (#17)**: Made of red plastic with age-related dust and grime. Features worn decals, missing the original clear plastic windscreen, and minor scratches consistent with play.

2. **Monogram Special Midget Racer (#9)**: Crafted from cream-colored plastic that has aged to a yellow tint. Includes original driver figure, but decals are cracked and peeling. It is in general fair condition with scuffed surfaces.

3. **Merit Lago-Talbot Racing Car**: This model is in poor condition with significant body damage. Ideal for parts or restoration.

4. **Merit Mercedes-Benz W196 Racing Car (#4)**: Finished in silver plastic, it shows minor wear on decals and some light scratches. Missing the clear windscreen.

5. **Merit Vanwall F1 Racing Car (#8)**: Constructed with dark green plastic, decals are well-preserved with minimal wear. Also missing the clear windscreen but overall in good condition.

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.

All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.
